Star Wars Outlaws ankom i sidste måned, men fik ikke helt den modtagelse udvikler Massive havde håbet på, og noget tyder på at markedet ikke helt har responderet som håbet heller. Der har været lidt snak frem og tilbage om hvor godt spillet har klaret sig økonomisk, men nu kommer der endelig en mere officiel udtalelse.
Under et hastemøde med virksomhedens investorer som følge af Assassin's Creed Shadows' udskydelse, der har CEO Yves Guillemot afsløret følgende (via Insider Gaming):
"Star Wars Outlaws' initial sales proved softer than expected, despite solid ratings from players that recognized the game's faithful transcription of the original trilogy's essence and richness: 76 on Metacritic, 3.85/5 on PS store, ~4/5 on Xbox and 4.4/5 on Epic. While players praise the sense of detail and the beauty of the graphics, the effectiveness of the reputation system, and endearing characters like Nix, some also noted areas of improvement."
Han giver os ingen reelle tal her, men lover at spillet vil blive forbedret over tid. Han siger specifikt at "development teams are already hard at work on this, focusing on save issues, stealth mechanics, more frequent quest checkpoints, and better NPC AIdevelopment teams are already hard at work on this, focusing on save issues, stealth mechanics, more frequent quest checkpoints, and better NPC AI".
